Summary
Ava would apologize but she’s not sorry at all: Beatrice is here, and Ava is tipsy, and the night is going great despite the fact that has perhaps possibly dug herself into a tiny financial hole betting on eight ball skills that she absolutely does not have.

Summary
Beatrice reaches out and taps Ava’s notebook. “Finish your work.”
”Yes, ma’am.” Ava tries to sand the words down with humor, smooth them into an insignificant bump in their usual conversation, but her voice is too throaty, even to her own ears.
She feels Beatrice’s eyes linger on her for long, long afterwards.
—
Ava hires Beatrice as her tutor. Things go swimmingly.

Summary
Beatrice finds herself musing not over duty and sacrifice and God, but the truth of angels, if they can be created rather than summoned. If they can take the form of women with overeager mouths and careless limbs and eyes with a depth that beckons - a crooked finger, a spiral staircase - if they can be both human and not, both beautiful and terrifying.
Ava asks, What do you want, Beatrice?
(Tell me and I’ll give it to you. Tell me and I’ll build you a home there. Tell me and I’ll rearrange the universe to make it all fit, angels and demons be damned. Tell me it’s me. Me. Me.)
